Art Crawl!!!

The guy who played the "recruiter" - is he one of those Canadian actors?

Uh oh - Henry is going to spill the beans!! (Maybe.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, the actress playing the vet -- is that Samantha Mulder?

Great ep! FUNNY!

Stark and Allison had me cringing a coupla times, but still funny.

Henry DID spill the beans! At least about Beverly. Way cool.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

And it looks like Henry might not even remember spilling some beans.

But then again, Stark seems to remember having a flirty good time with Allison.

And it looks like Henry might not even remember spilling some beans.

yeah, and when Jack brings it up, he's going to deny it. Of course, Henry also confessed to keeping things from Jack, so Jack might pursue it anyway.

There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists.

Wow. I'm finding this one totally unwatchable because of the guest actor. I know he's supposed to be annoying, but there's ways of doing annoying entertainingly; he just makes it unbearable. I don't suppose he croaks or otherwise disappears at any point that I can skip ahead to?

I thought he was a horrible prig and can't accept the fact that Jo actually seemed to be warming up to him or that Carter gave him the inside scoop on how to woo her. Sure, Carter found out about his soft doughy inside at the end, but nobody else did, including Jo.

But, funny ep. I didn't even freak out when it began outside of Eureka. (Well, maybe a little. And then I was all excited with thinking that they were doing a U.S. Marshall ep). Speaking of which, I was actually expecting Allison and Carter to butt heads more on the issue of The Annoying One, kinda along the lines of how they butted heads at the beginning of HOUSE Rules.

And I briefly started shipping Carter and the vet. Still can't figure out where she's from, but she's cute as hell.

Searching imdb, visiteureka, even wiki, to find that actress' name. Didn't find it, but I did find this conversation regarding Jo:

"whew! it looks like Fargo is out."

"I'm still annoyed they broke up Jo and Taggart. Those two were meant for each other."

"It's becoming a running gag. Every episode they throw another suiter at her. Maybe the season finale will have her fighting off the entire town (except for Carter, who is immune to everything) and we'll discover the dirty little secret about that perfume she wears."

What is even happening?

Huh. This season is really hitting my embarrassment squick. Much more so than last season.

There was a lot of that watch-from-the-hall feeling, wasn't there?

I really liked the guest actor (the genius criminal one) and kind of hoped he was going to hang around. After Zoe's initial hissy fit about being the sheriff's daughter, I really thought she was going to go for him, not Jo. I could like him and Jo together for a bit. Taggert's too broad for me, more often than not. I also liked the genius-finder. Something about him put me in mind of Firefly's Badger. With his talk of Eureka citizens being his people, I sort of felt like they were planting seeds for us to see him again.

Henry DID spill the beans! At least about Beverly. Way cool.

I love how this season has treated Jack's mindwipe. It's never the focus of an episode, but you can follow the thread in episodes like "Noche de Suenos," and "E=MC?." I really wish this series was 22 episodes long. It's my favorite thing on TV.

I thought this episode was a lot of fun. There were a couple of times where Nathan's dumb voice hit me as overdone. And I took a wee bit of umbrage at Allison dressing prettier and talking more softly, just because she wasn't smart. Speaking of umbrage, why do they keep making me like Nathan/Allison, when it's Jack and Allison I want together?

I think Henry's comment had more to do with Jack constantly being around conversations he has no idea the meaning of, not necessarily that he's dumb. It actually struck me as a little poignant bit of empathy (as opposed to how it played in the commercials).

I agree, which made me glad, because Jack's not dumb. He had Scott and me in fits of laughter, last night -- Scott particularly, during the over-protective Daddy scenes with Zoe.

But, funny ep. I didn't even freak out when it began outside of Eureka. (Well, maybe a little. And then I was all excited with thinking that they were doing a U.S. Marshall ep).

I did. I was sure Sci-Fi had screwed with their programming and that I wasn't even seeing Eureka, at all. Scott had to talk me down.
